You actually do a lot of music in no time. the user interface: by far the best of all elektrons (trust me, I owned all of them since the first Monomachine and Machinedrum). It have 8 tracks with MIDI LFOs that rocks as the center of your rigģ. the sequencer: if you like the elektron pattern sequencer this is it at its best. The filters are excellent, the drive is better than some analog units I have, the overall punch is unbelievable and in a big PA it rocks.in yoru face, punchy raw power. the sound.you could like it or not, but it have a lot of character. The Digitakt in comparison looks very short in features: just 64 mb of sample RAM, 1 Gb internal storage, no stereo samples, no 'mix' tools (eq, track compressor, etc) just delay, reverb and master comp, no internal polyphony, no velocity pads, not even song modeīUT, you have some stuff that makes the instrument shine:ġ. If you think you need all this process power per track, using stuff like insert and master FX, need stereo samples, big display with piano roll programming and lot of tracks, then the Akai is the right for you The Akai range is better for getting a more finished, polished, studio-production sound. This is just one of the best instruments for live performance I ever owned, if not the best

It was more expensive than the Digitakt but had a zillion extra features and you can push the sound to near DAW level of processīecause of lack of stock I purchased the Digitakt and it was the best thing I could ever did.

When I purchased my Digitakt, like 3 years ago now, the (then) new Akai MPC Live was released.
